LouGrass Session: Whiskey Bent Valley Boys
LouGrass: A Celebration of Kentucky Music
Enjoy free Bluegrass by Whiskey Bent Valley Boys on Friday, April 3rd, from 6:00-9:00 PM at Corner Flavors of Kentucky.
Now these boys will take you through the hills of ol' Kentucky, bearing the stores, traditions, and liquor that date back a century. This old-time band delivers with an intensity that would knock the sock's right off of their forefathers feet.
Hailing from the back woods of Bloomfield, Kentucky. The Whiskey Bent Valley Boys pay homage to their southern kin. Songs from the tobacco fields to the rivers, iron skillets to moonshine stills, upbeat and professional, this band possesses the skill to honor history and preserve the instrument, their style, and every authentic nuance of the day. With their sense of fashion, From overalls to string ties, straw hats to silk vests, along with a turbo charged performance, their approach breathes fire into this vintage genre.
Incorporating time-honored treasures from such icons as Roscoe Holcomb, The Stanley Brothers, and fiddle legend Tommy Jarrell, or a roster of original compositions including crowd-pleasers “Graveyard Blues” or “Old Kentucky,” the band puts on a timeless, energized show, playing everything from ballads, breakdowns, sea shanties, and swamp stomps. Audiences from children on their parents' knees to packed saloons past midnight,and finding favor with the older generation as well, makes for a wide range of appeal.
